Cedar Breaks National Monument, May 2003

Cedar Breaks consists of a natural amphitheatre some 2000 feet deep. The road through the Monument runs along the rim of this amphitheatre in a three mile arc, with extensive magnificent views of the numerous red and white sandstone rock pillars from the overlooks at the various stopping points. This makes Cedar Breaks somewhat similar to Bryce Canyon National Park.

We didn't get to see Cedar Breaks. The park is at about 10,000 feet and closed until about Memorial Day. As you can see in the picture, the ground still had a good covering of snow. The ride to the Monument from Red Canyon is nice.
